Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles

While never preachy, the director Max Lewkowicz nonetheless makes the case that Fiddler remains a vital and urgent piece of art about refugees, intolerance and the perennial clash of modernity with, yep, sing it with me, tradition!

The clip of the Temptations singing a cover of If I Were a Rich Man is worth the price of admission alone.

This film will be a treasure trove of insight into not just the making of a musical, but of women and men who had the courage of their convictions in the face of odds set against them.

It reminds us of why "Fiddler" is so enduring simply through the characters, story, and music that will still be touching audiences in another 50 years.

What makes it brilliant is that it demonstrates how universal this distinctly Jewish musical has become, how it has been embraced by many cultures and how it is still influential today.

It made me totally want to go see [Fiddler on the Roof] again... A really enlightening documentary.

An irresistible mix of film history and nostalgia.

Funny and clever, and it makes me want to go and watch the musical again, which I'd say is the best thing such a documentary can do.

For musical comedy (or drama) buffs... and everyone else, too.

This isn't just a Broadway origin story, it's a testament to the enduring power of art to speak to specific situations while illuminating broader issues.
